The PostgreSQL community is comprised of an international group of individuals and 3rd-party organisations who contribute to the PostgreSQL Development Group through various efforts. In order to help recognise the efforts of everyone contributing to the PostgreSQL project, the PostgreSQL Core Committee has put together a set of guidelines to fairly recognise these contributions to the community.
The following sections provide the guidelines for how various affiliates of the PostgreSQL community can qualify for official recognition by the PostgreSQL Development Group.

Recognised PostgreSQL Nonprofit Organisations (NPOs) will be listed on the PostgreSQL Website as such. To become recognised as an NPO, the organisation must self-certify that they meet the criteria below, aimed at ensuring they meet the standards of openness expected in the PostgreSQL Community.
Use of the terms "MUST", "MUST NOT", "SHOULD" and "SHOULD NOT" in the criteria below should be interpreted per RFC2119.

The Community Conference Recognition programme is a voluntary scheme under which submitters of events to the PostgreSQL Website listings may self-assess their entry against the criteria below, and if they comply may market their event as a PostgreSQL Community event.
Events that do not meet the criteria will still be welcomed (where appropriate under the general listing policies) - for example, events organised by a single company which may still be valuable for people to attend, but are not necessarily what we would consider fully "open."
Use of the terms "MUST", "MUST NOT", "SHOULD" and "SHOULD NOT" in the criteria below should be interpreted per RFC2119.
